And “What (you may ask) is a poem to an actress like yourself?’
And I would reply, “Why a mini drama, of course!”

Inspired by the many fans who have written to her about the poetry, Ms. Lightstone has gathered some of the poems she read on the radio program into a stunning poetry collection of classic to contemporary poems by renowned and lesser-known poets.
